Matt: "You want me to fire Helen? She’s been here forty years. She invented the algorithm that saved the studio $12 million last year!"

Matt: "It’s a duplicate, Barry! You’ve been sitting on a copy this whole time!"

Barry: "She digitized Moonlight Rider . She turned John Ford’s framing into a spreadsheet . She is the enemy. Do it, or H255 becomes the world’s most expensive coaster."

She pulls out a small film canister from her giant purse. "When Barry 'acquired' it, I made a safety print. I keep it next to my extra-strength Tylenol. He has a dupe . He’s been bluffing for twenty years."

Matt cracks. He can’t do it. Instead, he tells the whole room about Barry’s blackmail. The crowd gasps. Then, Helen laughs.

Back at Continental, Matt has a choice. He can’t tell Quentin the truth. The whole movie, plus the mule western, hangs in the balance.
